Given numbers are 388,944,198,146,403

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 388,944,198,146,403 is 266690060208.

Find LCM of 388,944,198,146,403 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2 x 97 x 236 x 99 x 73 x 403 = 266690060208

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 388,944,198,146,403 is 266690060208.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

388 x 944 x 198 x 146 x 403 = 4267040963328

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

388 : 1, 2, 4, 97, 194, 388

944 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 59, 118, 236, 472, 944

198 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 66, 99, 198

146 : 1, 2, 73, 146

403 : 1, 13, 31, 403

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 388,944,198,146,403, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

388:2x 2x 97

944:2x 2x 2x 2x 59

198:2x 3x 3x 11

146:2x 73

403:13x 31

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2x 2x 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 4267040963328/(1x16)

LCM = 4267040963328/16

LCM = 266690060208

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 388,944,198,146,403 is 266690060208.
